SAKALAS UŽDAVINYS

Actor and teacher

Sakalas is a widely recognizable Lithuanian theatre and film actor, director and sports glider pilot. Apart from acting himself, he is also teaching at Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Throughout his professional career as an actor and acting teacher, he was fascinated with the process of acting itself, how it works and how it is perceived by the audience. He finds the character to be the central point of any kind of public presentation, not necessarily artistic.

Being fascinated with the cosmology and astrophysics concepts as well, he could not ignore the similarities of the certain processes in quantum mechanics, the way the reality is constructed and perceived and the way the character is created and perceived. Sakalas is going to explain his reflections on how we are repeating a sophisticated cosmic process of projection in order to make our ideas and inspirations be perceived and understood.
